PEOPLE LINE SIDEWALKS
The sixth international Hoover
convention with 2500 persons, 34
floats and six bands of music in line
opened in North Canton. on Tuesday
and not only was the parade an artistic triumph, but it proved by the
«xplanatory and novel features on the
floats that the Hoover Sweeper is in
a class by itself as a destroyer of
dust and germs. It was a complete
education from the kindergarten class
to a full course in college, and no
normal man or woman could look at
the scenes enacted on tha floats without instantly realizing that the
Hoover with its new agitator is justly
entitled to its name, "The Greater
Hoover."
Weather Threatening
Early in the morning overhanging
clouds gave an intimation that rain
was somewhere around, but at 9
o'clock the opinion was expressed that
the day "is going .to he clear," and
everyone felt' that the .Weather'Man
was on his good behavior. He Vas
until the tail of the two-mile long
parade reached within a few yards of
the village limits on South Main
street and then he turned on his
sprinkling cart. As the line turned
north it began to rain, and those on
the sidewalks and in the reviewing
stand on the. Square sought shelter.
1 People Saw Full Parade
The people, however, saw the full
parade, as it marched north on Main
street after leaving east Maple street,
but-the showers somewhat dampened
the enthusiasm of the public in Witwer park, although there, too, they
heard W. H. Hoover's; speech, saw the
big balloon released fro,m-.its moorings, and had time to eat a substantial lunch provided by the Company.
Started On Time
The narade started on schedule
time, 10:30, and headed by the Hoover
' Band it presented a wonderful spectacle as it headed for the Square
where a moving picture expert filmed
it as it swung into North Main street.
On the reviewing stand sat many
ladies and all along the streets
through which the parade passed the
sidewalks, lawns and porches were
crowded with happy men, women and
children. The police arrangements
were perfect, and no one seemed inclined to jostle his neighbor on the
sidewalk or run his car out of place,
except in one instance, when police
nipped an attempt to run autos,
driven by strangers, through the
parade.
One of the features about the
parade was that there were many
ponies and a number of horses, but
only one automobile, and that was a
Ford mounted on a truck.
Pretty girls carrying Japanese umbrellas were on the floats, and to
quote one delegate from Georgia, "AH
of the peaches don't grow in our state
—not by a long shot."
In the line of march, in the reviewing stand, in the park "The Boss"
was given a great reception.
The American flag was everywhere,
and its beauty was enhanced from the
fact that it was not surrounded by
any bunting.
The delegates from Canada. England and Europe were a substantial-
looking lot of men—just the kind one
would exnect to find representing the
Hoover Company.
PARADEB REVIEW
In advance of this big procession
were two motor-cycle officers who
cleared the way, and leading the
parade was R. L. Wilson on horseback.
Directly following was an advance
guard of six trumpeters, marching
clothed in the costume of the historical period of King Edward, each
bearing a letter suspended from his
trumpet—the letters being H O O
V E R. .
The Hoover Company has chosen a
flag of its own and this flag was next
' in- line to the banners • spelling
. "Hoover," and following it was the
regular feature of each parade,' a
beautiful Hag. formation with Old
Glory in the lead and near it flags of
other nations which were represented
by delegates to the convention.
Music was filling the air from the
capable- musicians in the Hoover
Band which followed the flag formation, and they played with the zest
and vim the.occasion warranted, and
justified their title, "one of the best
bands in Ohio."
A placard announcing the Victorian
coach preceded this vehicle in which
rode the two highest maximen. The
coach was decorated in red, white and
blue, and was an exact reproduction of
the fashionable carriage used in the
time of Queen Victoria.
The administration department followed, which included the Hoover
family.
International Float In Line
The international float was next in
line, denoting the wheels of progress.
This float wag a white section of a
building in which was a door being
opened by an angel who is stepping
forth. The angel and the open door
denoted progress. At her feet was
the word "Sixth," referring to this,
the sixth convention. The angel in
opening the door denotes the spirit
of helpfulness carried to every home
by the Hoover, and also the spirjt of
Welcome for all, who come to North
Canton to this big convention.
"Finest" Leads Canadians
The Home and Canadian organization of Sales was next in line, headed
by four mounted men garbed as the
Northwest Mounted Police, Canada's
famous upholders of the law, and the
men of this group as they walked
wore the police uniform of Canada,
representative of the fact that these
Hoover men keep in force by their
sales of The Hoover Suction Sweeper,
the laws of cleanliness.
John Bull In Costume
The European district, of which
London is the central point, was here
introduced by representatives from
England, Sweden, Norway and other
nations. John Bull costumes were
worn by four of this delegation, two
riding horses, one walking and one
riding on the float. This float had a
lawn field at the back of which was a
large dog house.
On top of the house was a John
Bull character holding many ribbons,
each leading to a bull dog as it stands
on the lawn, and the caption, "Boys
of the Bull Dog Breed," not only denoted the district from which they
came, but their bull-dog tenacity in
holding on to sales of the right product.
Executives In Line
Next to this float came the secretaries of the executives, dressed in
white, marching.
New England To the Front
Branch 100 float followed. This is
the Boston branch in charge of R. J.
Fisher, whose territory represents
New England. A big fishing dory, in
real water and manned by a fisherman clad in a yellow slicker (or as the
fishermen call them, so'-easters).
These fishermen are men who fish for
and kill germs by the way of Hoover
Sales.
The engineers' department were the
next marchers and following them
was the float representing Division
500, which is;in charge of F. J. Hunter, and the territory is Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky. The little magazine
published for this district was reproduced on this float and upon it were
pictures of the three high maximen
of this division, and also belonging to
this division following the float was
a decorated carriage in which sat the
high man of this division and the
only woman from the district that
qualified. The captions, "74 Years
Young," and "Five Feet High" were
on a banner. A large group of men
from thesse states marched behind
the carriage with Hoover sweepers
for hats and carrying clappers.
Detroit Division 600 was represented by a float demonstrating the new
Hoover on a pedestal on the front end
and a Ford on the rear end. The captions told the story that the title for
greatest agitation was given The
Hoover with Henry taking second
place.
Many Departments
The transcribing, sales, educational
hospital, employment, supervision,
restaurant' and welfare departments
were marchers in this section of the
parade, each in uniform, . striped
sweaters, white trousers.
Dixie At the Front
Branch 700, representing the south,
with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, in charge of B. M. Myers, was
accompanied by a float representing a
realistic tropical scene, with real
growing cocoa nut, palm trees at
either end and at each corner a small
palmetto tree. The floor of the float
was covered with the white sea sand
and the catchy caption was "Dixie,
Where Summer Spends its Winters,"
arid/the inference is that we have time
for. play and music, pleasure and rest
when we have used a Hoover. A
southern product followed. this float
—a real Hying alligator, six feet in
length, guarded by two Seminole In»
dian boys in white costumes.
Research-Tabulating ,
Research and tabulating departments marched next.
Branch 9200, New York
Branch 9200, headquarters in New
York, A. F. Wiegand,. manager. The
float that accompanied this division
held a large figure, a replica of the
Statue of Liberty, and in place of the
torch she held a model 700 Hoover
Sweeper and her caption was "Liberty Lights the World and the Hoover
Lightens Housework." As the liberty
of our'great country protects its people from evil, so the Hoover protects
the home from germs and dirt evils.

W. H. HOOVER LAUDS
ENERGY AND PLUCK
Declares That the Maximen and
Top Notchers On the Firing
Line Keep the Wheels Turning
In the Firm's Factories.
REAL COMMUNITY SPIRIT
When W. H. Hoover, affectionately
called "The Boss" by thousands of
persons, appeared oh the speakers'
stand to address the Maximen, Top-
notchers, factory employes and guests
of the convention he was given a
hearty welcome. With the aid of three
large amplifiers his words were carried to all parts of the park. He said
in part:
"It certainly would be out of order
for me to ask your attention for any
considerable time. I just want to show
my appreciation of your splendid
turning out and the splendid good
spirit of the occasion.
Hearty Welcome To All
"It is the function of the Company
to act as host on this' occasion, but
we do that by proxy as we have every
right to expect, that every .one connected with the Hoover Company is
in sympathy with this movement. And
the proposition is that each one of us
extend a -most hearty welcome to all.
And let this gathering here today be
an expression of the good will that
ought to and that does prevail in our
work, both here and in the field, where
our product is distributed.
"It is a great thing for a community representing its homes and all its
institutions and its citizens thus to
have a Community Spirit and Community Feeling. This is a factory
community, and I say that with great
pride. We might insert the word only
by way of passing, but when an in-/
stitution has the heart and the hearty
support of that community we may
well consider it as a great center, as
a prodjict of the community and as a
center "around which the community
rallies and gathers and which it supports.
Factory Reflects Town
"This institution in which we earn
our livelihood is a reflection of our
own institutions. The moral and the
religious and the civic pride of the
community find expression therein.
"It would be impossible to have an
institution such as ours is unless it
were in a community that supported it
and of which it could be a reflection.
"And so briefly, I am just acting
as a mouthpiece for the Company, but
in the Comnany are not all the brains
and the brawn, the loyalty and the
integrity that make .this possible.
We must not forget, my neighbors
and friends, that it is the men and
women who are out on the firing line
and carrying the Hoover gospel and
planting the Hoover machines in the
homes of this and, foreign lands.
"Truly, the homes in this country
know worth and merit of the Hoover
and they are helping spread that
message that makes it constantly
easier to-enlarge and enlarge.
"And so my friends and neighbors,
who have come from near and far to
help us express irs tangible terms the
appreciation of the people on this occasion, and to our sales force, our
branch managers, our district managers, our supervisors and most of
all, perhaps, our Maximen, in whose
honor particularly we meet, let me
express as a mouthpiece for each and
all of you in whatever capacity you
are connected with us, or with this
splendid community in which we have
the environment that makes possible
the life and the spirit, not of laziness
but of work, not of serfdom—let us in
this spirit of freedom that is enlarging say each to each arndr all to each,
on this splendid occasion, a most
hearty welcome." (Applause, and
cheers).

Miss Lemly is giving instruction in
handicraft work and is working on a

. , KEEP IT IN MIND
Advertisements and news for these
columns should reach The Sun office
not later than noon on Tuesday.
Miss Ruth Marie Smith of New
YorK city will be married to Walter
A. Taylor in Hankow, China, late in
August, according to advices received
by Mr. Taylor's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Claud Taylor, 206 West Summit
street, North Canton.
Miss Smith, in company with Mr.
and Mrs. Bundy, missionaries, will sail
for China from San Francisco on
August 9. She was born in Colorado
and was graduated from the University of Southern California in 1923.
She specialized in music and has
traveled extensively in the British
Isles and Europe. Her father was a
Methodist clergyman. After his death
Miss Smith's mother devoted her time
looking after the welfare of young
women, and at present is in charge
of a Methodist home for immigrant
girls in New York City.
Met Her In England
It was while visiting the birthplace
of William Shakespeare, Stratford-on-
Avon, England, that Mr. Taylor first
met Miss Smith. He was on his way
to China as an architectural engineer
in the employ of the Episcopal Church
of America. He superintends the
erection of churches and schools supported largely by Episcopalians. That
was three years ago and since that
time he has been corresponding with
the young lady who has consented to
travel thousands of miles to become
his bride. He was graduated from
Ohio State, Columbus, in 1921, and
is 27 years of age. His contract with
the Episcopal Church calls for five
years in China, three of which he has
served to the satisfaction of his employers.
Mr. Taylor is well educated, a tireless worker and well grounded in his
profession, and The Sun (of which he
ifs a weekly reader) extends to him
hearty congratulations on his approaching marriage.

Altman's In Canton Need More Room

Since the first day of its publication "Reliability" has been
one of the chief requirements
for admittance to The Sun's advertising columns, so the publishers feel safe in saying that
advertising in this newspaper
is 100 per cent, dependable. If,
however, you find an advertisement that is not strictly truthful, please report it to The Sun.
"lufmWEEDS^"
Also Prune Trees Overhanging Pavement, Order of Council.
On several of the vacant lots in
North Canton the weeds are growing
fast, and as weeds are dangerous to
health, a fire hazard in hot weather,
and anything but things of beauty the
Mayor and members of Council hove
declared that they be cut. If the
owners of the weeds—and they go
with the lot—don't hop to it and chop
down the unsightly things then the
town will send a man with a mowing
machine to do the work and charge
the expense to the owner of the lot.
Overhanging branches are a menace to eyesight and pedestrians have
complained to Council.. So they must
be pruned. A neatly kept tree is a
tiling of beauty and a joy forever,
think the officials, so if the owners
won't trim them the town will—anil
send the bill to the aforementioned
owner.

On Thursday night, July 8, the
Council of North Canton will meet_at

Members Hear Mrs.'Charlotte Reeve
Conover Tell of Her Work
In Journalism.
Altman's of Canton are moving
from their present location on North
Market avenue to two doors north.
This firm has been most successful
in its business life in Canton, and it
has been the result of conscientious
effort on the part of Mr. and Mrs.
Altman to give to their patrons the
best values the market affords at a
price entirely within reason.
Mrs. Altman is a good buyer, quite
the equal of her husband, and also
an artist when it comes to knowing
good lines and tho judicious blending
of colors in up to tlie moment styles,
and their natrons have enjoyed the
fruits of their combined efforts and
knowledge.
The new store is much larger, and
will better take care of their rapidly
growing business. Newly decorated
and artistically arranged, they will
have one of the most attractive ready
to wear stores in northeastern Ohio.
INSTALL OFFICERS
Rella Workinger New Coucilor of
Mary Lincoln, D. of A.
The members of The Woman's Club
of North Canton were well entertained
on Monday evening at their meeting
in the Community Building. Mrs.
Charlotte Reeve Conover of Dayton
was the speaker and took as her subject, "My Three Years' Adventure In
Journalism."
Mrs. Conover had charge of the department in one of the leading women's magazines maintained to give
helpful answers to those who asked
advice. She quoted questions from
many letters and told of her replies.
Her entire talk was well delivered
and full of human interest.
Mrs. Conover has had wide experience, having been more or less in
close contact with newspapers and
newspaper work. She has traveled in
this country, England and Europe and
has been a student always.
Mrs. Spohn sang two solos very
pleasingly. Miss Ella Geidlinger accompanied her and Miss Kathryn
Kelly played a piano solo which was
much enjoyed.
The next meeting scheduled will be
omitted as it comes during the vacation time in North Canton. The next
meeting will be on Monday, August
2. Mrs. J. J. Snyder is chairman of
the day and the speaker is Miss Pearl
Worley, who will tell of her Juvenile
Court experiences. The public is invited to this meeting.
BIRTHDAY DINNER ;
The North Canton Business Men's
Association wants the world to know
that it appreciates The Hoover Company not only from an industrial
standpoint but because it stands for
the Golden Rule inside and outside of
the factory; believes in the Community Spirit and contributes in numerous
ways to develop that spirit, without
which a town or city becomes merely
a maw for all that is poured into it
without giving thought to the worthwhile things.
So the N. C. B. M. A. bought large
American flags and standards to hold
them in the sidewalks, engaged the
Massillon City Band to lead them,
purchased a banner, and in their natty
attire of dark trousers, white shirts
and straw hats, around the band of
which were the intials of their organization, they made a pleasing appearance as they stepped along carrying
canes with a pennant bearing the
word "Hoover."
Went the Entire Distance
Arthur Kolp was grand marshal,
and at his side walked Lee T. Lewis,
former Mavor of North Canton, anil
President of the N. C. B. M. A. The
men had a lot of fun "joshing" each.
j other in a quiet way, but they went
the full journey even if it did rain
I upon them as they were ready to turn
I on the home stretch. They stuck to
; it until thev reached the park, where
j they were dismissed, and then waited
| to hear W. H. Hoover's speech and
partake of lunch provided by the
Company.
I All along the line of parade the
1 members of the N. C. B. M. A. were
given the "glad hand" by the people
on the sidewalks.
For the Misses Opal Smith, Mary
Sloat and Grace Marker.

Man and Money
Many radicals rant that the man
is overmuch subjugated in America
by the dollar. They spout eerie figures as to grotesquely baseless percentages of how much wealth is owned by how few people.'
Yet under their eyes goes on a
diffusion of wealth unapproached in
history, marked by such testimony as
numbers of autos, telephones, houses
and farms owned, savings deposits,
insurance and especially the spread
of security ownership, lately emphasized by the growth of employee and
customer ownership.—Boston News.
Mr. and Mrs.' Fred Smith entertained friends on Sunday in honor of the
birthdays of their daughter, Opal, and
Mary Sloat and Grace Marker of Barberton. An elaborate dinner was
served at noon and the table was ornamented with flowers and a large
birthday cake, complete with candles
and icing ornaments.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs.
Nelson Hartong and children Virginia and Dale, Mr. and Mrs. Verne
Cashner and children 'Marjory and
Ralph of Greentown; Mr. and Mrs.

daughters Daisy, Grace and Wayne
of Barberton, and Mr. and Mrs. John

CHURCHES GET FLAG.
The American Legion and the Legion'
Auxiliary Present Old Glory
To Houses of Worship.
To show how strong is the Community Spirit among them and the
love they bear for the emblem they
fought so valiantly to keep afloat, the
members of the American Legion and
the Len-ion Auxiliary in North Canton "chipped in" and bought four
large beautiful silk American flags,
and to each church on Sunday a member of the Legion presented a flag.
Arthur Kolp was deputized to give
it to St. Paul'.s, and tho pastor, the
Rev. Father Kotheimer, received it
with a few appropriate remarks in
which he thanked most heartily the
donors for their kindness. He told
Mr. Kolp he would bless the flag at
the service on Sunday morning.
Edward Gross presented the flag to
Zion Lutheran church and the pastor,
the Rev. F. R. Sutter, accepted it for
the congregation in a well-rounded
short speech filled with love for his
fellow-man and the flag of his country.
In Zion Reformed church Earl Herbruck presented the flag to Pastor
Beck and the congregation. E. L.
Warstler, superintendent of the Sunday-school, accepted it in a neat
speech, pleasing to all who heard it.
In the Community Christian church
Walter Warburton ■ spoke for the,
Legion, and in presenting the flag he
uttered a few sentences that won instant recognition on account of their
love of God and country. Pastor Cossaboom accepted the gift in terms apr
propriate to the occasion.

PEOPLE LINE SIDEWALKS
The sixth international Hoover
convention with 2500 persons, 34
floats and six bands of music in line
opened in North Canton. on Tuesday
and not only was the parade an artistic triumph, but it proved by the
«xplanatory and novel features on the
floats that the Hoover Sweeper is in
a class by itself as a destroyer of
dust and germs. It was a complete
education from the kindergarten class
to a full course in college, and no
normal man or woman could look at
the scenes enacted on tha floats without instantly realizing that the
Hoover with its new agitator is justly
entitled to its name, "The Greater
Hoover."
Weather Threatening
Early in the morning overhanging
clouds gave an intimation that rain
was somewhere around, but at 9
o'clock the opinion was expressed that
the day "is going .to he clear," and
everyone felt' that the .Weather'Man
was on his good behavior. He Vas
until the tail of the two-mile long
parade reached within a few yards of
the village limits on South Main
street and then he turned on his
sprinkling cart. As the line turned
north it began to rain, and those on
the sidewalks and in the reviewing
stand on the. Square sought shelter.
1 People Saw Full Parade
The people, however, saw the full
parade, as it marched north on Main
street after leaving east Maple street,
but-the showers somewhat dampened
the enthusiasm of the public in Witwer park, although there, too, they
heard W. H. Hoover's; speech, saw the
big balloon released fro,m-.its moorings, and had time to eat a substantial lunch provided by the Company.
Started On Time
The narade started on schedule
time, 10:30, and headed by the Hoover
' Band it presented a wonderful spectacle as it headed for the Square
where a moving picture expert filmed
it as it swung into North Main street.
On the reviewing stand sat many
ladies and all along the streets
through which the parade passed the
sidewalks, lawns and porches were
crowded with happy men, women and
children. The police arrangements
were perfect, and no one seemed inclined to jostle his neighbor on the
sidewalk or run his car out of place,
except in one instance, when police
nipped an attempt to run autos,
driven by strangers, through the
parade.
One of the features about the
parade was that there were many
ponies and a number of horses, but
only one automobile, and that was a
Ford mounted on a truck.
Pretty girls carrying Japanese umbrellas were on the floats, and to
quote one delegate from Georgia, "AH
of the peaches don't grow in our state
—not by a long shot."
In the line of march, in the reviewing stand, in the park "The Boss"
was given a great reception.
The American flag was everywhere,
and its beauty was enhanced from the
fact that it was not surrounded by
any bunting.
The delegates from Canada. England and Europe were a substantial-
looking lot of men—just the kind one
would exnect to find representing the
Hoover Company.
PARADEB REVIEW
In advance of this big procession
were two motor-cycle officers who
cleared the way, and leading the
parade was R. L. Wilson on horseback.
Directly following was an advance
guard of six trumpeters, marching
clothed in the costume of the historical period of King Edward, each
bearing a letter suspended from his
trumpet—the letters being H O O
V E R. .
The Hoover Company has chosen a
flag of its own and this flag was next
' in- line to the banners • spelling
. "Hoover," and following it was the
regular feature of each parade,' a
beautiful Hag. formation with Old
Glory in the lead and near it flags of
other nations which were represented
by delegates to the convention.
Music was filling the air from the
capable- musicians in the Hoover
Band which followed the flag formation, and they played with the zest
and vim the.occasion warranted, and
justified their title, "one of the best
bands in Ohio."
A placard announcing the Victorian
coach preceded this vehicle in which
rode the two highest maximen. The
coach was decorated in red, white and
blue, and was an exact reproduction of
the fashionable carriage used in the
time of Queen Victoria.
The administration department followed, which included the Hoover
family.
International Float In Line
The international float was next in
line, denoting the wheels of progress.
This float wag a white section of a
building in which was a door being
opened by an angel who is stepping
forth. The angel and the open door
denoted progress. At her feet was
the word "Sixth," referring to this,
the sixth convention. The angel in
opening the door denotes the spirit
of helpfulness carried to every home
by the Hoover, and also the spirjt of
Welcome for all, who come to North
Canton to this big convention.
"Finest" Leads Canadians
The Home and Canadian organization of Sales was next in line, headed
by four mounted men garbed as the
Northwest Mounted Police, Canada's
famous upholders of the law, and the
men of this group as they walked
wore the police uniform of Canada,
representative of the fact that these
Hoover men keep in force by their
sales of The Hoover Suction Sweeper,
the laws of cleanliness.
John Bull In Costume
The European district, of which
London is the central point, was here
introduced by representatives from
England, Sweden, Norway and other
nations. John Bull costumes were
worn by four of this delegation, two
riding horses, one walking and one
riding on the float. This float had a
lawn field at the back of which was a
large dog house.
On top of the house was a John
Bull character holding many ribbons,
each leading to a bull dog as it stands
on the lawn, and the caption, "Boys
of the Bull Dog Breed," not only denoted the district from which they
came, but their bull-dog tenacity in
holding on to sales of the right product.
Executives In Line
Next to this float came the secretaries of the executives, dressed in
white, marching.
New England To the Front
Branch 100 float followed. This is
the Boston branch in charge of R. J.
Fisher, whose territory represents
New England. A big fishing dory, in
real water and manned by a fisherman clad in a yellow slicker (or as the
fishermen call them, so'-easters).
These fishermen are men who fish for
and kill germs by the way of Hoover
Sales.
The engineers' department were the
next marchers and following them
was the float representing Division
500, which is;in charge of F. J. Hunter, and the territory is Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky. The little magazine
published for this district was reproduced on this float and upon it were
pictures of the three high maximen
of this division, and also belonging to
this division following the float was
a decorated carriage in which sat the
high man of this division and the
only woman from the district that
qualified. The captions, "74 Years
Young," and "Five Feet High" were
on a banner. A large group of men
from thesse states marched behind
the carriage with Hoover sweepers
for hats and carrying clappers.
Detroit Division 600 was represented by a float demonstrating the new
Hoover on a pedestal on the front end
and a Ford on the rear end. The captions told the story that the title for
greatest agitation was given The
Hoover with Henry taking second
place.
Many Departments
The transcribing, sales, educational
hospital, employment, supervision,
restaurant' and welfare departments
were marchers in this section of the
parade, each in uniform, . striped
sweaters, white trousers.
Dixie At the Front
Branch 700, representing the south,
with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, in charge of B. M. Myers, was
accompanied by a float representing a
realistic tropical scene, with real
growing cocoa nut, palm trees at
either end and at each corner a small
palmetto tree. The floor of the float
was covered with the white sea sand
and the catchy caption was "Dixie,
Where Summer Spends its Winters,"
arid/the inference is that we have time
for. play and music, pleasure and rest
when we have used a Hoover. A
southern product followed. this float
—a real Hying alligator, six feet in
length, guarded by two Seminole In»
dian boys in white costumes.
Research-Tabulating ,
Research and tabulating departments marched next.
Branch 9200, New York
Branch 9200, headquarters in New
York, A. F. Wiegand,. manager. The
float that accompanied this division
held a large figure, a replica of the
Statue of Liberty, and in place of the
torch she held a model 700 Hoover
Sweeper and her caption was "Liberty Lights the World and the Hoover
Lightens Housework." As the liberty
of our'great country protects its people from evil, so the Hoover protects
the home from germs and dirt evils.

W. H. HOOVER LAUDS
ENERGY AND PLUCK
Declares That the Maximen and
Top Notchers On the Firing
Line Keep the Wheels Turning
In the Firm's Factories.
REAL COMMUNITY SPIRIT
When W. H. Hoover, affectionately
called "The Boss" by thousands of
persons, appeared oh the speakers'
stand to address the Maximen, Top-
notchers, factory employes and guests
of the convention he was given a
hearty welcome. With the aid of three
large amplifiers his words were carried to all parts of the park. He said
in part:
"It certainly would be out of order
for me to ask your attention for any
considerable time. I just want to show
my appreciation of your splendid
turning out and the splendid good
spirit of the occasion.
Hearty Welcome To All
"It is the function of the Company
to act as host on this' occasion, but
we do that by proxy as we have every
right to expect, that every .one connected with the Hoover Company is
in sympathy with this movement. And
the proposition is that each one of us
extend a -most hearty welcome to all.
And let this gathering here today be
an expression of the good will that
ought to and that does prevail in our
work, both here and in the field, where
our product is distributed.
"It is a great thing for a community representing its homes and all its
institutions and its citizens thus to
have a Community Spirit and Community Feeling. This is a factory
community, and I say that with great
pride. We might insert the word only
by way of passing, but when an in-/
stitution has the heart and the hearty
support of that community we may
well consider it as a great center, as
a prodjict of the community and as a
center "around which the community
rallies and gathers and which it supports.
Factory Reflects Town
"This institution in which we earn
our livelihood is a reflection of our
own institutions. The moral and the
religious and the civic pride of the
community find expression therein.
"It would be impossible to have an
institution such as ours is unless it
were in a community that supported it
and of which it could be a reflection.
"And so briefly, I am just acting
as a mouthpiece for the Company, but
in the Comnany are not all the brains
and the brawn, the loyalty and the
integrity that make .this possible.
We must not forget, my neighbors
and friends, that it is the men and
women who are out on the firing line
and carrying the Hoover gospel and
planting the Hoover machines in the
homes of this and, foreign lands.
"Truly, the homes in this country
know worth and merit of the Hoover
and they are helping spread that
message that makes it constantly
easier to-enlarge and enlarge.
"And so my friends and neighbors,
who have come from near and far to
help us express irs tangible terms the
appreciation of the people on this occasion, and to our sales force, our
branch managers, our district managers, our supervisors and most of
all, perhaps, our Maximen, in whose
honor particularly we meet, let me
express as a mouthpiece for each and
all of you in whatever capacity you
are connected with us, or with this
splendid community in which we have
the environment that makes possible
the life and the spirit, not of laziness
but of work, not of serfdom—let us in
this spirit of freedom that is enlarging say each to each arndr all to each,
on this splendid occasion, a most
hearty welcome." (Applause, and
cheers).

Miss Lemly is giving instruction in
handicraft work and is working on a

. , KEEP IT IN MIND
Advertisements and news for these

not later than noon on Tuesday.
Miss Ruth Marie Smith of New
YorK city will be married to Walter
A. Taylor in Hankow, China, late in
August, according to advices received
by Mr. Taylor's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Claud Taylor, 206 West Summit
street, North Canton.
Miss Smith, in company with Mr.
and Mrs. Bundy, missionaries, will sail
for China from San Francisco on
August 9. She was born in Colorado
and was graduated from the University of Southern California in 1923.
She specialized in music and has
traveled extensively in the British
Isles and Europe. Her father was a
Methodist clergyman. After his death
Miss Smith's mother devoted her time
looking after the welfare of young
women, and at present is in charge
of a Methodist home for immigrant
girls in New York City.
Met Her In England
It was while visiting the birthplace
of William Shakespeare, Stratford-on-
Avon, England, that Mr. Taylor first
met Miss Smith. He was on his way
to China as an architectural engineer
in the employ of the Episcopal Church
of America. He superintends the
erection of churches and schools supported largely by Episcopalians. That
was three years ago and since that
time he has been corresponding with
the young lady who has consented to
travel thousands of miles to become
his bride. He was graduated from
Ohio State, Columbus, in 1921, and
is 27 years of age. His contract with
the Episcopal Church calls for five
years in China, three of which he has
served to the satisfaction of his employers.
Mr. Taylor is well educated, a tireless worker and well grounded in his
profession, and The Sun (of which he
ifs a weekly reader) extends to him
hearty congratulations on his approaching marriage.

Since the first day of its publication "Reliability" has been
one of the chief requirements

"lufmWEEDS^"
Also Prune Trees Overhanging Pavement, Order of Council.
On several of the vacant lots in
North Canton the weeds are growing
fast, and as weeds are dangerous to
health, a fire hazard in hot weather,
and anything but things of beauty the
Mayor and members of Council hove
declared that they be cut. If the
owners of the weeds—and they go
with the lot—don't hop to it and chop
down the unsightly things then the
town will send a man with a mowing
machine to do the work and charge
the expense to the owner of the lot.
Overhanging branches are a menace to eyesight and pedestrians have
complained to Council.. So they must
be pruned. A neatly kept tree is a
tiling of beauty and a joy forever,
think the officials, so if the owners
won't trim them the town will—anil
send the bill to the aforementioned
owner.

Conover Tell of Her Work
In Journalism.
Altman's of Canton are moving
from their present location on North
Market avenue to two doors north.
This firm has been most successful
in its business life in Canton, and it
has been the result of conscientious
effort on the part of Mr. and Mrs.
Altman to give to their patrons the
best values the market affords at a
price entirely within reason.
Mrs. Altman is a good buyer, quite
the equal of her husband, and also
an artist when it comes to knowing
good lines and tho judicious blending
of colors in up to tlie moment styles,
and their natrons have enjoyed the
fruits of their combined efforts and
knowledge.
The new store is much larger, and
will better take care of their rapidly
growing business. Newly decorated
and artistically arranged, they will
have one of the most attractive ready
to wear stores in northeastern Ohio.
INSTALL OFFICERS
Rella Workinger New Coucilor of
Mary Lincoln, D. of A.
The members of The Woman's Club
of North Canton were well entertained
on Monday evening at their meeting
in the Community Building. Mrs.
Charlotte Reeve Conover of Dayton
was the speaker and took as her subject, "My Three Years' Adventure In
Journalism."
Mrs. Conover had charge of the department in one of the leading women's magazines maintained to give
helpful answers to those who asked
advice. She quoted questions from
many letters and told of her replies.
Her entire talk was well delivered
and full of human interest.
Mrs. Conover has had wide experience, having been more or less in
close contact with newspapers and
newspaper work. She has traveled in
this country, England and Europe and
has been a student always.
Mrs. Spohn sang two solos very
pleasingly. Miss Ella Geidlinger accompanied her and Miss Kathryn
Kelly played a piano solo which was
much enjoyed.
The next meeting scheduled will be
omitted as it comes during the vacation time in North Canton. The next
meeting will be on Monday, August
2. Mrs. J. J. Snyder is chairman of
the day and the speaker is Miss Pearl
Worley, who will tell of her Juvenile
Court experiences. The public is invited to this meeting.
BIRTHDAY DINNER ;
The North Canton Business Men's
Association wants the world to know
that it appreciates The Hoover Company not only from an industrial
standpoint but because it stands for
the Golden Rule inside and outside of
the factory; believes in the Community Spirit and contributes in numerous
ways to develop that spirit, without
which a town or city becomes merely
a maw for all that is poured into it
without giving thought to the worthwhile things.
So the N. C. B. M. A. bought large
American flags and standards to hold
them in the sidewalks, engaged the
Massillon City Band to lead them,
purchased a banner, and in their natty
attire of dark trousers, white shirts
and straw hats, around the band of
which were the intials of their organization, they made a pleasing appearance as they stepped along carrying
canes with a pennant bearing the
word "Hoover."
Went the Entire Distance
Arthur Kolp was grand marshal,
and at his side walked Lee T. Lewis,
former Mavor of North Canton, anil
President of the N. C. B. M. A. The
men had a lot of fun "joshing" each.
j other in a quiet way, but they went
the full journey even if it did rain
I upon them as they were ready to turn
I on the home stretch. They stuck to
; it until thev reached the park, where
j they were dismissed, and then waited
| to hear W. H. Hoover's speech and
partake of lunch provided by the
Company.
I All along the line of parade the
1 members of the N. C. B. M. A. were
given the "glad hand" by the people
on the sidewalks.

Man and Money
Many radicals rant that the man
is overmuch subjugated in America
by the dollar. They spout eerie figures as to grotesquely baseless percentages of how much wealth is owned by how few people.'
Yet under their eyes goes on a
diffusion of wealth unapproached in
history, marked by such testimony as
numbers of autos, telephones, houses
and farms owned, savings deposits,
insurance and especially the spread
of security ownership, lately emphasized by the growth of employee and
customer ownership.—Boston News.
Mr. and Mrs.' Fred Smith entertained friends on Sunday in honor of the
birthdays of their daughter, Opal, and
Mary Sloat and Grace Marker of Barberton. An elaborate dinner was
served at noon and the table was ornamented with flowers and a large
birthday cake, complete with candles
and icing ornaments.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs.
Nelson Hartong and children Virginia and Dale, Mr. and Mrs. Verne
Cashner and children 'Marjory and
Ralph of Greentown; Mr. and Mrs.

CHURCHES GET FLAG.
The American Legion and the Legion'
Auxiliary Present Old Glory
To Houses of Worship.
To show how strong is the Community Spirit among them and the
love they bear for the emblem they
fought so valiantly to keep afloat, the
members of the American Legion and
the Len-ion Auxiliary in North Canton "chipped in" and bought four
large beautiful silk American flags,
and to each church on Sunday a member of the Legion presented a flag.
Arthur Kolp was deputized to give
it to St. Paul'.s, and tho pastor, the
Rev. Father Kotheimer, received it
with a few appropriate remarks in
which he thanked most heartily the
donors for their kindness. He told
Mr. Kolp he would bless the flag at
the service on Sunday morning.
Edward Gross presented the flag to
Zion Lutheran church and the pastor,
the Rev. F. R. Sutter, accepted it for
the congregation in a well-rounded
short speech filled with love for his
fellow-man and the flag of his country.
In Zion Reformed church Earl Herbruck presented the flag to Pastor
Beck and the congregation. E. L.
Warstler, superintendent of the Sunday-school, accepted it in a neat
speech, pleasing to all who heard it.
In the Community Christian church
Walter Warburton ■ spoke for the,
Legion, and in presenting the flag he
uttered a few sentences that won instant recognition on account of their
love of God and country. Pastor Cossaboom accepted the gift in terms apr
propriate to the occasion.

FALSE ALARM
The Fire Department answered the
siren call on Monday, only to find that
it was a false alarm.
